Israeli Forces Block Gaza Civil Defense, Leaving Dozens Trapped Under Rubble

The ongoing conflict in Gaza continues to cause severe humanitarian and security challenges. The Gaza Civil Defense reports that Israeli forces are obstructing rescue efforts, preventing access to dozens trapped under rubble, despite international appeals for cooperation. Hamas militants are exploiting the ruins of Gaza’s destroyed neighborhoods as tactical cover, moving freely in areas the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) consider secure, complicating military operations. Meanwhile, aid efforts such as those by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation face deadly obstacles, with many Palestinians injured or killed while attempting to reach distribution centers amid intense Israeli military restrictions. Criticism also extends beyond the battlefield, with accusations that Pakistan's military, despite its significant power, remains complicit through inaction and alignment with Western and Israeli interests, failing to support Palestinians. These developments highlight the complex interplay of military strategy, humanitarian crises, and geopolitical dynamics fueling the Gaza conflict.
